Cow
Cow as a tidy 26 by 26 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for playful kids' blankets, nursery pieces, and animal-lover gifts. Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

Perfect for
Skill level: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine cow panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the cow when you want a baby gift. It looks at home on a soft-toy-themed throw and a playful kids' blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a pet owner, the cow suits a get-well gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 6.5 by 6.5 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
